Lyrics
Selfconsuming Fire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's waiting for the early tide
She turned back where the road got wider
She's looking for a soft asylum
Thinking loneliness is such a bitch to juggle
Been searching in the book of dreams
Been dreaming of a desert flower
Been waiting for the perfect touch
To release her from the self-consuming fire
Been hiding in a solitude
Grim exile in the business towers
A life amongst the living dead
Afraid to see what's building up inside of her
Five frozen faces fade away
Like still life in twilight hour
As memories of years gone by
The years of glorious undivided power
A flower tamed at your expense
A friend that could have been your lover
Sing softly from a world unchained
To catch the dawning resurrection hour
Five frozen faces fade away
Like still life in twilight hour
As memories of years gone by
The years of glorious undivided power
A flower tamed at your expense
A friend that could have been your lover
Sing softly from a world unchained
To catch the dawning resurrection hour
She tapped into the lucid dreams
To try escape the wildest fire
The fires that consume her soul
The way out is getting stony, steep and narrow
She's following the spiral down
She's trapped inside the wicked powers
If only she could hurt her God?
He'd crush her soul in the 11th hour
